Tests
7.4 Performing the tests
7.4.1 System test and leakage test
Prerequisites:
–The O
2 gas supply is connected.
– The anesthetic gas receiving system is correctly connected.
– The breathing circuit is correctly connected.
– When using an external anesthetic gas monitor: There is no sample gas
measurement connected to the breathing circuit.
Both tests consist of a checklist followed by an automatic test.
The checklist can be presented in tabular form or as a walk-through mode. In the
system setup, tests can be specified to always start in walk-through mode, see
page 219.
Leakage test A100
(XL)
A300
(XL)
A350
(XL)
Type and dura-
tion:
Automatic, approx. 2 min
Perform the test: – After filling the CO
2 absorber
– After changing the hose configuration (e.g., changed
hoses, changed lengths of extendable hoses etc.)
– After replacing the breathing system
– After inserting the piston diaphragm
– After replacing the flow sensors
– If leakage at vaporizer is suspected (see "Manual
check of a vaporizer for leaks", page 119)
●●●
Description: – Determining leakage, system compliance, and sys-
tem resistance
– Calibration of valves and flow sensors, if required. In
this case, the test is extended by
approximately 3 minutes.
Leakage assistant A100

A300
(XL)
A350
(XL)
Type and dura-
tion:
Manual, as required
Execution recom-
mended:
– After occurrence of problems with leakage during
automatic tests
– If leakage in breathing system and breathing circuit is
suspected
– If leakage at vaporizer is suspected
– If coaxial breathing circuits are used
--- ●●
Description: – Continuous display of the test pressure and the leak-
age to support the manual check. Changes are visi-
ble immediately via the displayed waveforms.
